My tests with cx88-dvb were with dualcore AMD. I noticed some logs,indicating that irq handling is not fast enough to handle one irq forevery frame buffer. Yet, my machine were capable of not losing anyframes (this happened on both the current videobuf and the newer one).Probably, if my machine were a little slow, or if the irq where sharedwith some other devices, I would lose frames. I'll re-run the tests disabling the second CPU and with both running,but without irqbalance.

It may be due to IRQ sharing. If you have two boards receivinginterrupts at the same IRQ line, you may suffer this kind of troubles,since both drivers will be called, on a serial way, to handle that IRQline. This will delay videobuf handling. In this case, a small timeincrement at videobuf processing may produce such troubles. I'm writing a small patch that will reduce a little bit the videobuftimings. Hopefully, this will fix the issue.> > Just installed the tm6000-new tree on two machines again and xawtv4> seems to be fine on both, UP, no DVB-T currently, no HD streams.
